Manufacturing · Software for metal stamping companies

Tie each press run to its die, its coil and its stroke count.

Stampers feed coil or strip through progressive and transfer dies on mechanical and hydraulic presses, and the die is the asset that needs the closest watching. The software keeps die history, coil heat number, stroke count and parts per hour for every run. Regrind, scrap weights and customer call-offs are tied to the run they came from.

At a glance

A press stamps thousands of parts an hour using a die built for one part. A chipped punch leaves burrs on the bracket. A worn die button does the same. A coil from the wrong heat splits the flange of a deep drawn cup.

Records for stampers therefore follow the die as closely as the part: strokes since the last regrind, which coil went in, and how many good pieces came out.

How the work runs today

An automotive or appliance customer issues a blanket order with weekly call-offs for a bracket, a clip or a drawn cup. You quote from strip width and pitch, material weight per thousand parts, press tonnage, strokes per minute, and the cost of the die and its upkeep. Tooling is either paid by the customer or amortised in the part price, and the contract says which.

On the floor the setter lifts the die from the rack, bolts it to the bolster, threads the coil through the straightener and feeder, and runs strokes until the first-off part checks. Operators gauge burr height, pierced hole position and flatness at intervals. Bins fill up. They go out for plating or heat treatment, then come back to be counted and shipped against the call-off. The scrap skeleton is weighed and sold back.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for metal stamping companies without a proper system.

Die life is judged by sound and burr height

A punch is sharpened when the operator decides the burrs look bad. Nobody knows the stroke count. Wear is found late, mid run.

Coil lots are not tied to finished parts

A split appears in one bin of brackets and the mill names the coil, yet no record shows which other bins were blanked from it. The customer’s recall sweeps in far more parts than needed.

Call-offs and press time do not line up

The customer changes the weekly quantity by phone. The press already carries another die. The planner hears last.

Tooling cost recovery is untracked

A die was paid for in instalments added to every part shipped. Nobody checks whether recovery is complete, so the customer overpays or the shop absorbs the balance.

Scrap skeleton is sold by weight with no reconciliation

Strip offcuts leave the yard by weighbridge ticket. The weight is never compared to coil issued and parts shipped, so loss from pilot holes and carrier web goes unseen.

What the software does

What we would build for metal stamping companies.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Quotation by strip pitch and tonnage

Price a part from strip width, pitch, material weight, press tonnage and strokes per minute, with tooling cost shown separately or amortised.

Die register and stroke counter

Hold each die with its rack location, press and bolster fit, strokes since sharpening and repair history, so wear is read from counts.

Coil receipt and lot trace

Book coils in with grade, gauge, width, weight and heat number, then link each to the runs and bins that consumed it.

Press schedule and changeover

Plan runs by tonnage and bed size, and sequence them to cut die changes against customer call-offs.

In-process and first-off checks

Enter burr height, hole position and flatness readings at the set interval, with the setter’s approval of the first-off part.

Tooling cost recovery

Track die cost against parts shipped, so amortisation or customer-paid tooling is closed out on a known date.

Scrap and call-off dispatch

Weigh skeleton against coil issued, and ship parts against the customer’s call-off with a delivery note.

Common questions

Questions metal stamping companies ask before they call.

Can it count strokes for each die?

Yes. Strokes are logged per run and added to the die’s running count since its last regrind. Reading the count straight from a press counter depends on the press and is scoped later.

Does it handle blanket orders with weekly call-offs?

Yes. A standing order holds the total quantity and each call-off is released against it, with its own delivery note and the balance still open.

Does a bin of finished parts link to its coil?

Yes. Each run records the coil used, and its bins carry that heat and lot number. A customer query opens from the part’s lot.

We run a few presses on small parts. Is it still useful?

It can be. Even a small shop gains from knowing when a die needs regrinding and which coil went into which lot, though a single press can be managed by hand.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
